Wed, 03 Oct 2012 00:16:04 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104411In my 23 years of working, I have made approximately $700-750,000. If my pay stays the same as it is now for the next 20 years, I should make about 1 million more in my working life. My cars are paid off, I have 15 years left on my mortgage, and I put $200 a month into savings. We don’t skimp, but we also don’t splurge either. Don’t cry to me Krys if you have to work “50 years after retiring”, simply because you couldn’t make 6 or 7 million last for your 10 year carrer. Btw…I’m not complaining at all, just stating some facts.

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 20:11:49 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104380I am not hating on players for joining European teams. That comment was supposed to come off with a rhetoric undertone stating Krys doesn’t have much to complain about. Comparing this to Europe probably wasn’t my best choice, but the whole point was that Krys is coming off sounding like a well set rich baby. As much as the owners are sleeze bags, I don’t care if they continue to lead a lavish lifestyle during the lockout and that Krys can’t. He doesn’t have to be happy with the personal lockout situation he is in but he shouldn’t be taking to the internet to imply how his million dollars aren’t enough to live off. After all, his job isn’t completely lost like some players, it’s just locked out. You guys have fired back with some better comments than mine though. Touche.

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:17:53 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104375What does that have to do with anything..there are plenty of guys from other countries that have roster spots in every level of hockey right up to the NHL, taking potential spots from North American players too….so what? None of this sh!t has anything to do with the lock out! We all miss hockey but remember the one thing that does matter….We would be enjoying the NHL if the OWNERS didn’t CHOOSE to do this!!!

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 18:05:39 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104359Well said and I don’t disagree with that assessment. Nothing in life is fair, and that applies to Krys as well. If he is a victim of the lockout in the end, oh well. At least Krys has made 6 to 7 figures compared to other lockout victims who are much further down the ladder and in completely different leagues. My entire point was, I’ll give sympathy to those low paid European players before I will give it to this guy.

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 17:21:00 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104342Its sad but we live in a society that pays more for entertainment then it does for safety but that doesn’t mean hockey players deserve blame. All people in the professions you listed go into those jobs because thy want to make a difference. Hockey players play because they love the game. Remember the owners are locking them out not vice versa. If you think that all athletes are overpaid compared to others then don’t watch/support sports at all and avoid lining their pockets.

He would be taking away that potential job opportunity from a resident. There is nothing wrong with putting out the best product whether that be a law firm a manufacture plant or a grocery store, you should hire the best possible employees to put out the best product. Nothing in life is fair which is why you have to work for everything you get.

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 16:18:37 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104319When you go to work who do you think has the greater chance for serious injury, you or NHL player? When you leave work you most likely get to go straight home to a family, NHL player less likely. Can you get moved at the drop of a hat and forced to live somewhere new on a daily basis. Lastly did you dream of doing your job since you were a little kid only to have the powers that be say no you can’t do his anymore. A NHL players taxes are probably around 35% and the owners want 20% so that leaves them taking home 45% of their pay. Would you want that?

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:31:40 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104310Totally agree with this , explain to me why I go to work everyday for nine hours a day to get a mere fraction of your paycheck. Then on top of it all ….. I have to pay a league to actually play hockey. !!

The gm’s are kind of along for the ride . Every devils fans knows the kovy contract did not come from him but from the owner .

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:29:33 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104308First sign here that the NHLPA is starting to show a few cracks… Out of the 700 or so players in the league, there has to be at least 200 or 300, maybe more? probably feel the same way Barch does…

There are lots of guys that can’t go to Europe cause there just not good enough to take a roster spot over there and they can’t go to the AHL cause they have one way contracts… So they have to go play somewhere like the ECHL, or other semi-pro leagues where your riding the bus and getting peanuts.

It will be interesting to see how this holds up once game checks for players like Barch start being missed… If there is no season, there is a good chance he doesn’t see another minute of ice time in the NHL.

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:59:17 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104307actually it’s 3,75 million from 2006 – 2012 alone, plus 1,5 m for the next two seasons (should they happen)

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:51:15 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=863035#comment-104306Maybe Lou should cut him, but I dont see why. He is a locked out player speaking his mind. Lou himself is a major reason in why there is no NHL right now. Only 2 years into signing Kovy to one of (in not the) biggest contracts in NHL history the Devils were/are having serious cash problem. If your team can’t afford the best availible player they shouldn’t sign them. The Owner may have pushed for the Kovy deal, but as the GM Lou offered it and turned it into the League for approval….Twice.

Please Mr. Barch, explain to this working stiff who makes 35k a year, why you can’t make 1.5 million last your whole life?
